By the age of two, she could count to 40, draw pictures of people, recite poems and read books meant for seven-year-olds. Within a year, she was adding and subtracting. Now she is four, Heidi Hankins has an IQ of 159 — only one point below Albert Einstein's — and has become one of the youngest members of Mensa. She took an IQ test after nursery staff struggled to find tasks to stretch her. And her parents Matthew, 47, a University of Southampton lecturer, and Sophy, 43, an artist, are hoping their daughter can skip a school year when she starts in September. Heidi sat a Wechsler IQ test, which uses puzzles to measure a child's intellectual potential. The average adult IQ score is 100 while a "gifted" score is 130. John Stevenage, chief executive of British Mensa, said: "Heidi's parents correctly identified that she shows great potential."

英国四岁女孩Heidi Hankins智商达159，只比爱因斯坦和斯蒂芬·霍金低一分，而普通成年人的智商是100。Heidi的父亲是大学教授，母亲是艺术家，她两岁即可数到40、画人物画、背诗、读7岁孩子读的书。目前，Heidi已经成为世界顶级智商俱乐部门萨俱乐部的最小会员之一。
